Her former spending was about the same. She has always been frugal. Just not as frugal as me. I am the king of frugal

Thats the thing, she makes about 3X what I make. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 9 years ago and my doctor thinks a low stress part time job is all I can handle, and I agree with him. Unfortunatly the pay is not that great

I agree completely. Thats why in the grand scheme of things this is not that big of an issue for me. She is a wonderful wife and has stood by my side all these years I would be a fool to toss it all away over something a trivial as this.
